In no way saying that all Italians are racist but I’m from Bedford which has a huge Italian Community
“Bedford is home to one of the largest concentrations of Italian immigrants in the UK. According to a 2001 census, 2 in 7 (almost 30%) of Bedford’s population are of at least partial Italian descent. From 1954 to 2008 Bedford had its own Italian vice-consulate”
And I don’t remember ever seeing an Italian guy date a black girl. My girlfriends parents are great people but would go absolutely ape shit if she ever brought home a black guy, and I’m pretty sure their peers feel the same way.
I’m glad the Italians in your area are a bit more accomodating of different races.

Garish home furnishings and/or artwork
Buying luxury items incommensurate to household income
Leaning against said luxury items for photo opportunities
Acqua di Gio
Wearing sunglasses on overcast days
Shirtless picnics
Utica NY is loaded with pizanos. It’s where the Mafiosos fled after the crackdown in NY city in the 50’s and 60’s or whenever that crackdown was.
Bonuses for Utica, lots of good Italian restaurants.
Minuses for Utica, lots of douchers who think they are in the Mafia.
Actually I have quite a few good friends who are either partly Italian or 100%. Its fun getting drunk and calling them all sorts of names. Wop, Guinea, Pizano, etc… I’ll give Italians one thing though, they got fire. They will throw down at the drop of a hat. They are also very loyal people, if they consider you one of thier people, they will do just about anything for you.
Having lived there for four years, I think it can all be summarised as “a large mirror”. To be used against a backgound noise of his mother telling him how gorgeous he is…

Saying “yous” instead of you all.
Grabbing their crotch when they talk
Feeding you tomato based meals.
Claiming their family is from Sicily
Getting mad when black people mention the Sicilians descended from Moors.
Saying “I got your Moor right here!” While doing #3 on the list.
Cursing in Psuedo Italian when you punch them in the throat.
Waiting by your car with “Mikey or Vinnie or Paulie” when you leave the bar.
Snapping their fingers like the Jets when the rumble starts.
Only Sicilians have that hang up. ‘Mainland’ Italians are thankful for the many invasions from Africa for supplying the genes for Italian men’s “endowment” in later generations…

That wasn’t very nice. Now yous gotta leave.
And geez, 26 hours before someone mentioned The Godfather? Mille grazie, Momma.
